Hi Mark,

If by tighten you mean the space between the characters, then you may want
to try TextRenderer as Peter pointed out. The reason is that
Graphics.DrawString uses GDI+ wheras TextRenderer.DrawText uses GDI. The
difference is explained in this article. Your text may look better in GDI,
but it may look different when printed or in other resolutions..
